• Facilitating Scrum events—Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Planning, Sprint Reviews, and Retrospectives—ensuring they’re effective and outcome-driven
• Proactively identifying and addressing blockers and impediments that could impact the team’s progress
• Helping the team select and manage tools for backlog refinement and sprint tracking
• Fostering a safe, collaborative, and transparent environment that encourages open communication and knowledge sharing
• Supporting team health by monitoring dynamics, resolving tensions, and promoting a culture of trust and mutual respect
• Acting as a shield for the team from unnecessary distractions or external interference
• Collaborating with other Scrum Masters and Agile leaders to strengthen Agile maturity and share best practices
• Driving continuous improvement through regular feedback loops and team-driven experimentation

• Strong facilitation, coaching, and stakeholder management skills
• A collaborative, problem-solving mindset
• Familiarity with tools like Jira or Azure DevOps
